Anthony Klincken
(26 Apr 1688 - Abt 1770)
There was a curious character among them named Anthony Klincken who might very well have been mentioned in Whittier's Pennsylvania Pilgrim. He seems to have been well-to-do, like many of the others, and devoted himself almost entirely to hunting, for which the surrounding wilderness afforded abundant opportunity. But the best place for duck shooting, he always said, was the little spatterdock pond close to Philadelphia, where Fourth and Market Streets now intersect. He usually took his gun with him when he went to Philadelphia in autumn and winter, and seldom failed to be rewarded at the pond. He imported a German yager to assist him in his expeditions, and his home was always full of game carefully labelled with the date when it was killed.
